lol "I was on slicks". Dude. Grip is like 90% of the battle. Stock Z tires SUCK *****. Now as for the other guy, if he was in a stock Maxima, that is quite impressive.

I don't get the lol our 60' times were the same there for he had just a good of launch as I did. My best on street tires is 14.3 BTW. Its almost impossible to run 100 mph traps with such a fast 60' time and not break into the 13's. His 2.03 60' could have been a typo perhaps 2.30 60' would sound more reasonable. Flame all you want about me being on slicks but I find it funny our 60' times were exactly the same I ran a faster ET but was 4 mph slower when we crossed the 1/4 marker. Does that sound right to you???

ok my slip goes like this:

60 - 2.030
1/8 - 8.9 @ 78
1/4 - 13.93 @ 97.55

now how is he ahead by 2 tenths and 4 mph in the 1/8 but I run a quicker ET but still 4 mph slower in the 1/4. Thats my point here I smell a g-tech until I see the slips

Default Revision for you guys who are mathmaticians

I feel stupid now and was not trying to lie about my times. I typed in the wrong 60' and 1/8 mile times. i was in a hurry to get my times on the tread and made a mistake. I do want to commend you guys for your calculations. Very impressive. Whether you like it or not the times below are still awesome for this car and my track conditions. KEEP IT ON THE TRACK. Silverstone Performance 6MT R/T= .978 60'= 2.126 330=5.985 1/8= 9.136 MPH=80.12 1/4=14.066@ 101.49. I apologize again for my mistake. This ticket will be scanned shortly and posted. FYI the trap times on the car next to me belonged to a SVT Lightning Truck.

Congrats! April 1st the track opens here in the Boston area... I should have at least 2000 miles on it by than and an Injen intake... I'll be crossing my fingers for cracking into the 13's! You gave me some confidence being that your the first non-track model 1/4 time I seen and I have the Enthu model.. I been racing on a 300HP front wheel drive turbo eclipse, and if i can launch that, I can launch anything... A rear wheel Z should be a pleasure after dealing with wheel hop etc...

one more question does it get seriously packed? I am tired of going to the track here in Atlanta and can only squeeze two runs in since everyone in their mother is out there. And the track sucks no traction what so ever.

Default B'ham track location

The track is in Steele, AL. It is about 45 minutes north of B'ham on Hwy 59. You can see it from the interstate. Exit then right then your first right and your there. It's not busy @ all really. On a "Busy" day you may wait about 5-10 minutes between runs. Traction is OK if you own slicks but if you are racing our stock radials your going to have a traction problem probably where ever you go. Do you own a Z? I want to race another if you are interested. Get back to me. I may go again in a couple of weeks. Gotta look @ my schedule. Im curious to launch @ around 3000 RPM and not 3500 like I did Sunday and see what I do. K.I.T.

no I wish I owned a Z. I own a 98 Maxima. 5-10mins is a sweet time to wait. Never waste your precious time and money to come to the track here in atlanta. Freaking place gets very packed. Youll wait 1 hr 30 mins plus until you get your next run in.

but check this out, maybe pretty soon if I dont get shipped out to Iraq, the Z guys and the maxima guys can roll down there to this track all in one big group.
